I like to second the vote for handmaidens. Here's another flavor...

Amidala's Decoy (mini: ?)
Republic
COST: 18
HP: 60
DEF: 15
ATT: +6
DAM: 10

Special Abilities:
Mobile Attack
Rapport (this character costs 1 less in squads with a unique character who counts as Padme Amidala)
Bodyguard
Amidala's Decoy (At the end of this character's turn, any two characters in your squad with Amidala in their names may exchange positions.)

How about a new Jabba?


Jabba the Hutt, Gangster

Cost: 60
HP: 140
Atk: 8
Def: 15
Dmg: 20
Unique, Melee Attack, Speed 2, Strong-Willed
Immediate Jabba Reserves 20: If you roll exactly 5, 10, 15, or 20 for initiative, you can add up to 20 points of non-Unique Gamorrean, Quarren, Gran, Duros, Rodian, Nikto, Twi'lek, Weequay, or Bounty Hunter characters to your squad, adjacent to this character, immediately before your first activation of the round
Trap Door: Replaces Turn. Target adjacent enemy must make a save of 11 (save 6 for enemies with Flight). On a failed save, the enemy takes 50 damage and you place the enemy in either your opponent's starting area or your own starting area. On a successful save, the enemy must either move to an adjacent square (move provokes attacks of opportunity). Otherwise, the enemy takes 30 damage and your opponent places the enemy in their starting area.
Paid Bounty: If a Bounty Hunter defeats a Unique character and then ends its turn adjacent to this character, remove 20 damage from the Bounty Hunter.
My Kind of Scum: Replaces turn, sight. Target Fringe enemy without a force rating must roll a save. Add the enemy's cost. If the sum is less than 25 or if the roll is a natural 1, the enemy joins your squad for the rest of the skirmish.

Commander Effect:
Adjacent non-unique Fringe followers gain Bodyguard. Allied Bounty Hunters may ignore enemies' cover when they are within 6 squares of that enemy.




Just some ideas thrown out there. Note that with Paid Bounty, Jabba will pay a bounty to your opponent as well if they have a Bounty Hunter that kills a unique character.

And a Mandalore the Indomitable on Basilisk would rule!

I don't know if the current set has it or not, but a Sith unit with door control of some kind would be nice.

Maybe even a force power that can blow down doors.

I really like this Huk!!!

I think Cover Fire is a great idea. Giving him Accurate Shot and Twin seems a bit much though. Also, "until the start of next turn" powers adds to the bookkeeping. What about this version:

Cover Fire: This character may make an attack of opportunity against any legal target that moves (including targets with Flight). If this character uses this ability, enemies may ignore this character's cover for the rest of the turn.


It's an 'always on' option so there's less bookkeeping, but restricted to legal targets. And while he gets first shot he opens himself up to return fire (since he's giving away his position with the cover fire).

Beat me to Force Pull, but I would restrict the distance the target gets moved. Doing a board-wide square change is just too over powered. Basically, I would have it work like Push, but moving the target closer. Maybe something like this:

Force Pull 2 (Force 2. Replaces Attacks. Range 6: Target enemy character takes 20 damage and is moved 2 squares closer to this character)

or

Force Pull 4 (Force 4. Replaces Attacks. One enemy withing line of sight take 40 damage and is moved 4 squares closer to this character.)


I would also like to see these abilities/force powers:

Covering Fire: When this character Combines Fire with another character, the attacking character benefits from the effects of Combined Fire for all of it's attacks during the turn.

Gravity Field: All characters withing 6 squares of this character lose Flight.

Motion Tracker: Enemy characters withing 6 squares of this character lose Cloaked.

Force Manipulation (Force 2. Make one enemy within 6 square re-roll any die roll) [Yes, I even mean Saves, Attacks, etc. Anytime an enemy character rolls a d20]

That's all I got for now. Will post when I next get a crazy idea.

Sincerely,
Jester007

Seconded both of these. I want to take that huge idea one step further, perhaps:

Heavy Duty Mechanic (human engineer)
Faction: Fringe, Separatist,
Cost 8
HP 10
Def 12
Atk 4
Dmg 10
SA
*give her either one, two, or all of these abilities, raise cost accordingly)
Engine Upgrade (Huge allied characters gain stable footing)
Weapons Upgrade (Huge allied characters without the melee attack ability gain +10 damage for the rest of the skirmish, this bonus damage is multiplied for critical hits)


Munn Weapons Designer (Munn Tactician)
Faction Seperatist/Imperial
Cost 10
HP 10
Def 12
Atk 4
Dmg 10
SA
Shields upgrade (Huge characters with droid or mounted weapon gain shields 1)
Armor Upgrade (Huge characters with droid or mounted weapon gain Damage reduction 10, if this character already has damage reduction 10, they gain damage reduction 20)
Weapons Upgrade (Huge allied characters without the melee attack ability gain +10 damage for the rest of the skirmish, this bonus damage is multiplied for critical hits)


But what about the melee huges you might ask?


Nightsister Beast Tender (Nightsister)
Faction Fringe
Cost 20
HP 60
Def 18
Atk 11
Dmg 20
SA
Melee Attack
Empathy

Force 3
Force Lightning
Beast Control; Force 1(This characters commander effects have the range restriction removed until the end of this character's next turn.

CE
Large Savage characters within 6 gain Ambush
Huge Savage characters within 6 get +10 damage against adjacent enemies.

i like these ideas, but i see one problem with the nightsister. WIth the Nightsister having empathy the commander effect will be lost, because of empathy removes savage.

Head-Hunter (This character gains accurate shot and +4 attack against enemies who have command effect(s).

Or
Head-Hunter (This character gains +4 attack and 10 damage against any enemies who have command effects.)

Spy/infiltrator, Allies within 6 squares gain Head-Hunter +2 (+2 attack and 10 damage against enemies with command effect)
